At a bond hearing Wednesday afternoon, a judge set Podewil's bail at $25,000. He is charged with possession/use of an incendiary device. If convicted, Podewil could spend more than ten years in prison.

Podewil was arrested Tuesday night at his Laurens Street apartment. Investigators say they found bottles and a gas can at Podewil's apartment when he was arrested.

"We're glad to have this person off the streets because we don't know what is going through this person's mind," said Columbia-Richland Fire Chief Aubrey Jenkins. "We don't know if they were planning on doing it again."

Warrants show USC police lifted the man's fingerprints from a fire bomb that didnâ??t explode near a dumpster behind a Main Street building in late January.

In that incident, authorities say Podewil stuffed a green beer bottle with a cloth and used an unknown accelerant to create an incendiary device. Warrants show Podewil made and used several of the explosive devices on at least three occasions.
